Christmas Lights and Finnish Dinner

On Friday we went to the first night of the Christmas markets here. It was lots of fun with all the lights, but we’ll have to go again to see what all was being sold, there were tons of people! Lots of fun!

But last night we were invited to M and A’s for a typical Finnish dinner! It was completely amazing. The food was fantastic! We started off with this bread and smoked salmon (or cheese in my case, I love those guys!!) and salad. It was great. There was also some typical Finnish alcohol, not my favourite part but everyone had fun watching (it tasted like the Finnish chocolateJ). Next we had meatballs, mashed potatoes, veggies and reindeer! Yes reindeer and it was delicious!!!!!!! It was kind of like roast beef, but not quite, a little gamier. Everything was so tasty. And then for dessert we had blueberry pie, but not like grandma’s, it was like custard with blueberries in it in a pie crust! So many blueberries too!! We had vanilla sauce on it too, which was so tasty! The evening was perfect and so much good food, not to mention amazing company!!! I think I’m gonna say it … I think it was even better than Thanksgiving.  

A very full,
